Hey to all my Lead Pastor/Senior Pastor/Executive Pastor buddies out there. I have just finished working through a resource I just HAVE to share. It is called "The Staffing Seminar" by Nelson Searcy at Church Leader Insights. We are working through the process of hiring a Worship Pastor at Rocky River Church and this has been some of the best learning and most practical help I've ever gotten on the subject. SERIOUSLY! We will NEVER hire the same way again. Here's a link to the CLI website where you can pick it up https://nelsonsearcy.infusionsoft.com/cart/store.jsp?view=4&i=1310&navic.... WORTH THE MONEY!

ALSO, I have signed up for today's FREE "Top Three Staffing Mistakes" webinar. Here's a link where you can register for that. http://www.churchleaderinsights.com/index.php/free-stuff/top-3-staffing-.... Again, this help is FREE so take it!

Hope this helps you maximize your leadership in your church.

This is a note to all my senior pastor buddies out there. I want to invite you to go to the Holy Land this May with Nelson Searcy (of course, I'll be on the trip too). This trip is LITERALLY a once in a lifetime opportunity. The trip is a DELUXE FIRST CLASS trip for Senior Pastors and their spouse and/or up to four members of your senior staff. It is truly going to be a VIP experience. Click here for costs, travel details and itinerary. http://www.churchleaderinsights.com/holyland

Just a couple of quick facts about our trip:
1. Our tour company, DuCarTours.com is the the same company that hosted trips this past year for Glenn Beck and Mick Huckabee.
2. Our trip is ALL INCLUSIVE. There are NO hidden expenses like you will find with other tour companies (trust me on this one!).
3. The tour guide makes the difference - our guide is one of the best in all of Israel.
4. First class accommodations are so important because on a trip like this one you need to be well rested.
5. We will enjoy some of the finest food in the world, both at our hotels and at restaurants we have negotiated with in advance - ALL INCLUDED.
6. One more - on our trip, we not only have a great guide, we also will have Nelson Searcy (www.ChurchLeaderInsights.com and NYJourney.com) to share leadership lessons and insights along the way. AND, Jason Hatley, Nelson's Worship Pastor at The Journey (www.WorshipLeaderInsights.com), will be travleing with us and we will have several worship experiences along the way.
7. Okay, one more - what appeals to pastors about this trip is that it is designed with the senior pastor in mind. The only person you have to worry about is you. Our church members are valuable and important, but this trip is about your spiritual pilgrimage. This is a trip where your life can be filled up and refreshed.

Anyway, I am handling the details for the trip so if you have further questions please email me at Jimmy@RockyRiverChurch.com or call me at 704-795-7625.

Don't wait too long! The trip is filling up fast. We're only have about 30 spots open TOTAL.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Jimmy
